Palaces and Castles of the Princely Family of Liechtenstein

[Magnolia471]

I believe there were disputes over property between the Princely family of Liechtenstein and the Czech Republic,I'm not sure if they're ongoing?

Liechtenstein Princely Family sued Czech Government on many occasions but they never won in court. I don't think there is any chance they will get those properties back.

The state even owns a crypt that has members of the family in it

It doesn’t make sense

I thought those remains were moved?
Maybe I'm mixing it up with another church?

There is one in Liechtenstein and one in Vranov, Czech Republic. In 2015, the family paid to repair the crypt in Czech Republic

If I got this right, then the State of Liechtenstein is not officially acknowledged by the Republic of Czechia!

Because if it were, then the von Liechtensteins were not German and the expropriation of all their castles and vast properties would be illegal even under the Czech Law.

So, Czechia pretends, that Liechtenstein does not exist...

This is somewhat comical, since Czechia is in the EU and Liechtenstein is part of the European Economic Area, which has a treaty Czechia acknowledges.

The one in Liechtnestein is relativ new and was build after WWII when the Family did not have access to the one in Vranov.

That’s the one I’m talking about

The interior of the Liechtenstein Princely Family vault at the Church of Our Lady in Vranov/Wranau.
It was the principal burial site from 1633 to 1945.

Liechtenstein Castle (Maria Enzersdorf):
Liechtenstein (German for "bright stone") Castle is the place of origin of the House of Liechtenstein, the ruling family of the Principality of Liechtenstein. The family owned the castle from at least 1140 until the 13th century, and again from 1808 to the present.

I think there are a number of noble families in a similar situation in Eastern Europe.

Yes, but some families in some countries were able to get restitution, others for valid or illegitimate reasons have not

Frauenthal Castle is an historic building in Frauental an der Laßnitz in the district of Deutschlandsberg in Styria.
In 1819 Count von Friess had to sell the Frauenthal estate to Prince Johann von und zu Liechtenstein due to his bankruptcy and since then it has been owned by his descendants. Thus, the current building has been influenced by the Liechtenstein family over the last 200 years.

@Blog Real my favorite line of the links you shared is for the very first one, Riegersburg Castle.

"...The castle serves as a museum, with 25 out of the 108 rooms being opened for visiting. Sixteen of the rooms show the history of Riegersburg Castle and nine deal with witches and sorcerers."

Does that mean the Princes of Liechtenstein have some skeletons in their closet we didn't know about?

The castle in Vaduz can not be visited but at least since this summer, it can be explored in 3D and Augmented Reality. Those are the rooms available for public, where they receive people and as seen in the documentary about Hans-Adam II
